Do any of us host their own email? (self.homelab)

I have been thinking of completely going off Google. I have a Nextcloud server for documents and contacts and calendar. Thinking of moving mail away too. Currently I am conflicted between hosting my own email server. On searching only advice I am getting is not to do it.

How many of the homelabers do host their own email server? What software do you use? Any tips.

I use Mail-in-a-Box on a VM at home. Static IP from my ISP. Been working well for years now. I recommend it.

If your IP isn't trusted you could always use an SMTP relay somewhere else.
